King says, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny”, (King Birmingham Jail). King’s incorporation of the metaphor “tied in a single garment of destiny” creates a depiction in the reader's mind of a interconnected community in which all human beings all over the globe are a part of, all linked together by our assured eventual demises. By integrating a metaphor into the piece King is able to create in image in the mind of the reader in order to help them sympathize with King and the message of the Civil Rights Movement. King later goes on to say, “There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair”, (King Birmingham Jail). Here King goes on to use the metaphor “abyss of despair” to depict what one comes to after being faced with constant oppression and inhumane treatment. The overall effect of the metaphor helps to create a distinct image in the reader's mind of the oppression that people were facing
